Create a Painting Part 2: Refining a Drawing

By Aaron Blaise

In this tutorial, artist Aaron Blaise takes a rough sketch and refines it into a clean drawing that will serve as the basis for a digital painting.

Aaron shows you how to:

• draw over a rough image by reducing the opacity and adding a new layer
• work from reference photographs and ‘draw from life’
• add key details to the image
